Pittsburgh, Pa. ? In light of the overwhelming success, the Robert Morris University women's ice hockey team and College Hockey America are proud to sponsor the second annual Skate for the Cure event this season.
Robert Morris hosts the St. Cloud State Huskies of the WCHA on Saturday, Oct., 27, at 3:05 p.m. at the RMU Island Sports Center for the 2007-08 Skate for the Cure game sponsored by My Way Mobile Storage and in association with Lanxess, Fina Promotions, Cost Cutters and Clearview Federal Credit Union.
Each guest in attendance will receive a breast cancer awareness giveaway courtesy of RMU sponsors and has a chance to receive a special giveaway from the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
The event, led by the schools of College Hockey America including Mercyhurst College, Wayne State University, Niagara University and Robert Morris University, gives the players, coaches and staff a chance to inform their local and surrounding communities of the impact that breast cancer poses to many women in their everyday lives.
Each school dedicates one game from their regular-season schedule as their Skate for the Cure game, where all of the proceeds collected for the event. At the end of the season, all four schools pool the collected funds together to make a donation to a foundation, chosen by College Hockey America, at the end of the annual CHA Women's Championship Tournament.
